Coronary Angiography in Pathardi, Palghar, Maharashtra

What is Coronary Angiography?

X-ray imaging of the coronary arteries using contrast dye to detect blockages and assess heart disease severity.

Why Coronary Angiography Is Needed

Coronary angiography is performed to evaluate suspected coronary artery disease when a patient has chest pain, an abnormal stress test, or has survived a heart attack, in order to precisely locate and measure the severity of any arterial blockages. It's also used before certain heart surgeries to map the coronary anatomy.

Signs You May Need Coronary Angiography

Chest pain or tightness, especially with exertion, shortness of breath, and abnormal findings on an ECG or stress test are the primary reasons doctors recommend coronary angiography. It's also performed urgently in patients presenting with a suspected heart attack to guide immediate treatment.

Types of Coronary Angiography

Conventional coronary angiography is performed via catheter, most often through the wrist or groin artery, and remains the gold standard for visualizing blockages. CT coronary angiography, a less invasive alternative using a CT scanner and contrast dye, is increasingly used for lower-risk patients to avoid an invasive procedure when appropriate.
